A mere 24 hours after being charged with misdemeanor assault for allegedly "body slamming" a reporter on May 24, Montana Republican Greg Gianforte was declared the winner in the May 25 special congressional election (he replaces Republican Rep. Ryan Zinke, who was tapped by President Trump to become the U.S. Secretary of the Interior). Gianforte, a businessman, held on to just over 50 percent of the vote, edging out Democratic challenger Rob Quist, a professional bluegrass musician. CNN reports Republicans are saying the outcome "is proof once and for all that the base isn't abandoning Donald Trump." Acknowledging the assault incident for the first time, Gianforte apologized during his Thursday night acceptance speech, saying he "made a mistake."
